Hi.. I saw some of the other of this thread where you named a couple
of viewers. Have you tried Atril, too? I can't say that the speed will
be any different, but sometimes good things happen. :)

Atril's in the main repository for me in Bullseye. Its short
"apt-cache search" description says it's a MATE desktop environment
viewer, but I have it installed on XFCE4. I just fake purged it to see
what else it would uninstall. Only 4 other packages, for whatever that
might be worth per each, our own personalized Debian installs.

Cindy :)

Why don't you try using one of the software included in Debian ?
xpdf
okular
evince
and possibly more.
Try one of the software compiled by the Debian developers and
distributed inside the Debian distribution.

Often software like Adobe Acrobat are bloated with useless publicity or
other possibility that make them slow like traveling a ocean on a raft
with two paddle.

 Install Okular, with supporting packages.
Why use Adobe products.
If you install Lightbeam, you will find they connect directly with the
CIA.
Adobe is spyware as far as I'm concerned.

Hi,

Good advice.

Good question !

You just lost all type of credibility right now.
Don't take your dream for reality. If this would be true then they
woudln't be dumb enough to make this traceable to the open.
You just blew up all you said earlier and made a fool of yourself.
Not that spyware don't exist or that the CIA don't spy on people but
that you say things out of context, without any fact to support them and
presented like a undeniable fact.
Yes and election we're stolen too...

The greatest menace to democracy is human dumbness as those get easy to
drive thru the use of custom chosen publicity driven by artificial
intelligence.
People who have basic knowledge of information and fact validation, plus
the ability to distinguish between rumors and bias don't fall for AI
based manipulation.

You had a good message but blew it up by not keeping those two lip together.

And you're an idiot.
`without any fact to support them'?
I clearly stated, `If you install Lightbeam'.
Are you capable of reading the English language?
If you install Lightbeam, visit the Adobe site, you will see the
association clearly.
Perhaps you need to wake up to the fact your words apply to yourself.

Yes, exactly!

>> Adobe is spyware as far as I'm concerned.
> Can be true but not in the sense you wrote earlier.

No, as far as I'm concerned, it's spyware.
Your approval for my individual thought process has not been sought or
required.

Just a polite reminder: however annoyed you feel, insulting each other
on list really doesn't help get technical or other points across. 

Anybody can phrase things badly: anybody can get things wrong at times:
everybody can be wrong at times or just be badly informed.
If all else fails: when you read something that punches your buttons, stop,
wait 15 minutes, draft a politer reply - or set that thing aside and
just ignore it or the person who wrote it wihout escalating it.
Sometime, maybe, that person will have something more useful to contribute
that you may benefit from.

Thanks, Andrew.

Folks: if you enjoy slinging mud at each other, fine. But please, do
it off-list :-)

I'd add "don't hurt each other", but that's me.

I totally agree with you Andrew.

Everything that is unrelated to the following can be considered useless:

Technical aspects of a software/hardware
What practice could be considered optimal for a specific case
Arguments to support some technological / methodological choice
References to documents / HOWTO / FAQ / etc...

and so on... ( I'm pretty sure we get the point here).

Yes it does make the reading bloated for other users and may even cause
some people to loose interest in the mailing list.

There may arise situation where it may be opportunistic to engage into
some opinion, if the goal is to make a better community. This is my firm
belief and the message I am responding to, can be considered such a
situation.

There is a point that I never saw being put forward and I think it must
be dealt with, that is credibility.

Same thing over what was the base of the situation here.

If CIA really does infiltrate Adobe Software (or any company) then they
have all the power needed to hide their track. It's not any usual layman
that will have the power to trace back to them, even with all the
willpower he may have.

Also, if such a discovery would be made then I'm convinced that anyone
who has solid proof would share them with either news agency,
investigative journals, etc. Not keep it to oneself, only to be shared
as part of a comment regarding the speed of opening a PDF file.

So this sound to me as a pure fiction based arguments to support one's
conviction against closed source software (Adobe in this case).
Again this make the community of open source user look like a bunch of
nutcracker thinking there's spy everywhere and going back to the 50's -
60's witch hunt.

Or it's a really bad understanding over already published documents
about some of the NSA program...

This also raised doubt about evertything he could say, if someone
doesn't validate info received and make such frivolous claim then how
can I have a sense of trust over small suggestions he's making.

For example that there's a real speed gain of using USB 3.0 for a
webcam. Or that plugging a USB 2.0 device onto a USB 3.0 hub could
reduce the speed for all the device on the hub. Even if the last part if
true, I'll have a doubt over the whole sentence. (I made this one up)

I dislike to see people ask for help, in good faith they will find it
here and it turn bad for them. And they don't get back on the list...

If having harsh exchange between each other may annoy the continuous
user of the mailing list, then don't be fooled, first time user may get
driver off the mailing list because they get far-reached unrelated
explanation. And those one won't come back telling everyone why they left.

If the goal of this mailing list is also to retain user in the use of
Debian Linux distribution (and possibly derivative) then this shall also
be dealt with.

I prefer consensual food fight over mud slinging, plus I always make
sure not to target the eyes.
